LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance into the facility. LPA met with the Director Antoinette Leon-Martinez (D1). LPA toured the facility inside and outside. LPA observed 6 preschool aged being supervised by 1 staff member. LPA accessed Guardian to verify that all required adults were background cleared. LPA observed that hazardous items (disinfectants, cleaning solutions etc.) were inaccessible to children in care. Facility days and hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The facility provides breakfast, lunch and snack which is supplied by the facility. LPA conducted a file review prior to inspection and verified that annual fees were current. While on location, LPA reviewed care and supervision of children, staffing ratios, medications, first aid supplies, furniture, equipment, fire drills, and drinking water. LPA observed all required forms to be posted. There appear to be adequate toys and equipment available for children. LPA toured the outdoor play area, and the play structure for ages 2-5 years old appeared to be in good repair. LPA observed wood chips providing sufficient cushioning under the play structure to prevent injury. LPA reviewed the sign in/out documents on the facility's app and observed that the children in attendance were signed in. LPA reviewed children’s and staff files. LPA observed Health Screening Reports with TB test and required MMR and TDAP vaccines for all staff members who were present. At least one staff member present today had current Pediatric CPR and First Aid (exp. 01/2025). LPA observed current Mandated Reporter training for all staff. D1 was reminded to renew the course every 2 years. This training requirement may be met by using the Department’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) online training modules. The OCAP modules are free of cost and available at: http://www.mandatedreporterca.com/. The training is currently provided in English and Spanish. Report continues on 809-C
